It was an incredible honor! I still can\u2019t believe it. Being featured in this big time magazine reminded me that I have done something, and that feeling is pretty amazing. I have also been busy getting ready for the holidays! It\u2019s my favorite time of the year. I love all of the decorations and fun things we get to do. My friends and I get together and make a bunch of little holiday-inspired crafts!

I guess I can say I&#8217;m grateful for inspiration!<\/p>\n\n<p>Since I&#8217;m still in the Thanksgiving spirit, I also want to say I am very grateful for the part of us that can never let us down, for rooftop decks and for the brilliant invention that is legs. I am grateful for my amazing mom, and I am grateful that I&#8217;m going to <a title=\"Keeping Up With Claire\" href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarmoving.com\/blog\/2013\/keeping-up-with-claire\/\" target=\"_blank\">high school this year<\/a> (even though it can be a pain sometimes).\u00a0I also love to travel!
